Labour: Anas Sarwar says family business does not pay real living wage

Sarwar’s admission came after he touted Labour plans for a “New Deal for Working People”, which the Labour MSP said would “lift people out of poverty” by making employers pay a “genuine living wage”.

“And that's why a centrepiece of our election campaign will be our new deal for working people, which is about banning exploitative zero hour contracts, ending the scandal of fire and rehire and delivering a genuine living wage, and that genuine living wage will lift people out of poverty.

Pressed again, Sarwar said: “It's not my business. I have no shares in that business. It's a business that is, yes my family has an involvement in, but I have no direct involvement with that business.And pressed again, he said: “Well, I don't believe that every single staff member is on the real living wage.
